"Rilo Kiley&amp;apos;s Jenny Lewis traded indie-rock for alt-country when she skiffled onto the stage at New York&amp;apos;s Town Hall last night. Joined by oddball collaborators the Watson Twins, she treated fans to a unique hodgepodge of country variety show gentility and heel-stomping rock &amp;amp; roll. Scheduled openers the Little Willies, Norah Jones&amp;apos; countrified side-project, didn&amp;apos;t show &amp;#x2014; allegedly a &amp;quot;family issue&amp;quot; prevented them from playing &amp;#x2014; so the college-aged crowd got to enjoy the main event earlier than expected. Just after nine, Lewis and the Twins took to the stage with a four-piece band dressed in black-tie regalia. The buzz of rabid-fan chatter died down the second Lewis&amp;apos;s candied country croon began an a cappella rendition of &amp;quot;Run Devil Run.&amp;quot; From then on, the club was quiet as a tomb, allowing Lewis and Co. to sweep through pretty much every tune from 2006&amp;apos;s Rabbit Fur Coat (including a goose-bump-inducing rendition of the harmonic &amp;quot;Melt Your Heart.&amp;quot;)\r\nAbout halfway through, Lewis and the Twins left the stage for a costume change, returning in sparkly, translucent mini-dresses for a decidedly amped-up Act Two. By the time the band had finished the strutting blues rarity, &amp;quot;Jack Killed Mom&amp;quot; and the Bo Didley-tinged &amp;quot;Fernando,&amp;quot; the lap-steel guitar was in danger of bursting into flames.\r\nFor the encore, Lewis appeared solo for the hauntingly stark title track from Rabbit, before summoning the band on stage with a whistle for a feel good cover of the Traveling Wilbury&amp;apos;s twangy &amp;quot;Handle with Care.&amp;quot; It was a fitting end to a real rock hootenany, New York-style."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
